3.1 Label

The label of the microinverter contains all the useful information for its identification, including the serial number, the release of the 
software and the symbols whose meaning is given in the table below.

3.2 Wiring

When a monitoring system is required, the installer shall inform the client about the best suited configuration based on the system 
architecture and clients needs.
Each microinverter is an independent production unit, safe and efficient: it can then be installed, monitored and controlled 
independently from the others.

The serial number shown on the label is used in the mapping procedure for relating each microinverter with its location in the 
plant, so that it can uniquely identified during the phases of configuration and diagnostic: this operation is fundamental for the 
proper use of the monitoring system (if any).

Caution hot surface: do not touch.

Read the instructions before to use and to install.

Risk of electric shock. Presence of dangerous voltage inside the enclosure.

Realize the connections as shown in figure 4.2.

4.2.1 Connection without WIELAND distribution units

Each distribution unit can accommodate a maximum of 4 connection cables: up to 3 AC lines from microinverters and up to 2 
cables for connecting to the distribution network.

As depicted in fig.4.3 and 4.4, several arrangements are possible when more distributors are in use.
